SettingDescription
Clip back (3D files only) Toggles the display of elements and parts of elements located outside a 3D view's back clipping plane. If set, a back clipping plane is active in a view.
Clip front (3D files only) Toggles the display of elements and parts of elements located outside a 3D view's front clipping plane. If set, a front clipping plane is active in a view.
Clip volume Toggles the display of elements and parts of elements located outside a defined clip volume for a given view. If set, and a clip volume has been applied to the view, the view volume is restricted to the defined volume. If no clip volume has been applied to the view, it has no effect.
Constructions If set, construction elements are printed.
Dimensions If set, dimensions placed in the specified area are printed.
Data fields If set, data fields are printed.
Fast cells If set, cells are displayed as outlines.
Note: Setting Fast Cells can decrease printing time.
Fill If set, closed shapes with fill are printed with fill.
Print border If set, a border is printed. Print border is set by default if the printer driver configuration file has a Border record. The border can include a label giving information such as the name of the design file and the time and date of the print.
Note: To print with no border, select Edit Printer Driver Configuration and set the Border On property to False.
Print fence If set, the bounding fence is printed. For this setting to be enabled, the Print Area must be set to Fence.
Print Broken Associations with different symbology If set, elements are printed that have lost their associativity when the weight and/or style have changed.
Apply print color mode to raster If set, the print engine applies the color setting in the print definition to raster data. The color setting control is located on the Advanced tab of the Properties dialog.
Use view background color when rendering If set, the print engine uses the background color defined in the printer driver configuration file for the print. If clear, it uses the background color of the view.
Level overrides If set, elements are printed using level symbology overrides.
Line styles If set, elements are printed with their assigned line styles.
Line weights If set, elements are printed with their assigned line weights.
Patterns If set, patterns placed in the specified print area are printed.

Tags If set, tags are printed.
Text If set, text placed in the specified print area is printed.
Text nodes If set, text node indicators placed in the specified print area are printed.
Transparency If set, elements are printed with their specified transparency. Transparency can only be printed in rasterized mode, except when using the PDF printer driver. In addition to full transparency support in rasterized mode, the PDF printer driver is also capable of printing vectors with transparency in non-rasterized mode.
